The girl with empty eyes

The trio arrives at the island early and already the island was filled with activity. Just as the trio left the dock, a voice shouted out "Hey Terra, over here man!" Terra looks over and sees Riku waving his arm and telling him to come over there. "Sorry guys, I have to go."Terra apologizes and runs toward the small island with the paopu tree. "Aqua, do you want to come and help me with my training?" Ven asks. "Sorry Ven, me and Kairi are going to make some seashells charms." Aqua apologizes. "Ahh" Ven says sadly. "But don't be sad Ven, maybe another day." Aqua says with a smile and leaves to find Kairi. Ven watched Aqua leave and felt so alone without his friends by his side.

So Ven walks with his head down to the door that leads to the back of the island where trains most of the time. When he reaches the beach in the back of the island, he summons his keyblade started to practice his new command: time splicer. While he teleported and attacks the air with his keyblade fiercely. In the nearby woods, a girl watched curiously as Ven practice his teleporting. She watches Ven for hours as he teleported in different directions before he stopped to take a breather. Then a female's voice shouted out "Ven, where are you?" "Over here Aqua!" Ven shouted out while still catching his breath. "There you are, it time to go Ven." "Ahh man!" Ven cried out sadly. "Can I stay a little longer to train?" Ven asked. "Okay, you can stay but be back before dinner." Aqua tells Ven. "Yes, Aqua" Ven answered. "Okay Ven, see you later." Aqua says before leaving.

After Aqua left, Ven sat there for minute still catching his breath and then it was back to training. The girl was still watching him and for an hour or two she stood there just watching him until he stops. He was sweating a lot and he squat down to catch his breath for minute, then he stood up and walks toward the door that leads to the front of the island. The girl stood there for a couple of minutes to let eyes adjust because it was night already, then she slowly followed Ven to the front of the island. Ven was going to dock, but lifted head and looked up at the bright stars above. Ven was so mesmerized by the stars that he decided to stay a little longer and he starts to walk towards the small island with the paopu tree to get a better look. When he got there, he just sat down and lay back as the stars twinkled in the sky.

The girl however was scanning the beach making sure no one was around, but she didn't see Ven on the small island. So she kept walking until she reach the beach and looked down to the clear water below. Ven was still looking at the stars until something prods the back of his head. Then he realizes that it was getting late and had to be home soon. So, Ven immediately got up and ran towards the dock. But as he was running across the beach, notice a girl looking down at the water.

He wonders if the girl was alright. So he went up to the girl to see what was wrong."Hi" Ven says nervously as he walked up to the mysterious girl. The girl immediately lifted her head and turned to him. The girl was about the same age as him but Ven was shock as his eyes met her eyes. Her eyes were black or possibly a very dark brown but the shocking part was that inside her eyes was nothing, just empty and expressionless. She had long, dark brown hair that was tied into a ponytail in the back. She wore a long black, grey, and limegreen-checkered shirt with limegreen stripes that went randomly in different directions and she had worn it loose with a plain black shirt underneath and had regular color jean pants with some pair grey/white sneakers to go with it. She also had a weird silver chain around her neck with a wolf howling to the moon as a charm.

Ventus knew the girl was panicking by the expression on her face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Ven says apologetically. But the girl didn't listen to his words, she just slowly backed away from him. Ven notices her backing away and said as he took a step forward "Don't worry I'm not going to hu-." But before he was able to finish his sentence, the girl panicked and sprinted toward the door that lead to the other side of the island. Ventus ran after the girl as fast as he could yelling out "Wait, I wasn't going to hurt you!"

But the girl ignored his cries and just kept on running. The girl push the door open and quickly slam the door close on Ventus, but Ventus quickly thinks and uses his shoulder to push the door open before it slam on him. Ven saw the girl run towards the bridge that was still construction and chased after her. As Ven closes in on her, stretch his hand out and try to grab the girl's arm. But all of a sudden the girl leaps up into air and the floor that Ven was running on collapses from under him and he falls into the shallow water below. Ven land on his feet luckily and look up to find the girl running towards the place where Ven trains at. Ven immediately ran towards the stairs that leads out of the water.

When Ven got to the area where he trains and he finds no sign of the girl he chased earlier. Ventus scans the whole area and no evidence of where the girl had disappear to. Where had she gone? Ven thought. Ven scans the area again and still no sign of her. So Ven decides to give up on the search and heads back over to docks. As Ven was leaving, something in the woods nearby stuck its head out slightly to see if Ven had left. Then after a few minutes, the figure leaves the shadows of the woods and into the moonlight revealing a young girl.

Ventus was greeted by Terra after returning from the island. "So, you decided to come home now?" Terra says with a smirk. "Am I late for dinner?" Ventus asks while catching his breath. "You're luckily that Aqua wasn't done with dinner yet, so you better hurry in before she's done." Terra informs Ven. Ven immediately runs into the house to find Aqua in the kitchen still cooking. Aqua then turns just Ven walks in and says "Ven, you just made it before dinner almost done." "Okay" Ven says with a smile. "So, what's for dinner?"

Meanwhile Terra was standing outside watching the ocean. Terra's darkness has been dormant for a long time since Sora saved them and hasn't done any disturbance until today. Why is the darkness freaking out today? Terra thought as he looked to the stars seeking the answer. But as Terra thought silently to himself, a dark voice spoke out: "Your wondering why the darkness has started to burn within you, eh?"

Terra immediately turned around to see where the voice had come and found a dark figure shrouded in the shadows of a nearby tree. Terra summons his keyblade and call out to the figure. "Who are you?" Terra demanded. "I'm just a lonely creature warning a stranger about the darkness" as the figure moves out of the shadows and into the moonlight revealing a large, dark wolf-like monster. "What about the darkness?" Terra asked questionly as he watches the creature cautiously. The creature just smiles showing some fangs as he points his finger toward the sky as he said "You know why the darkness inside has disrupted all of a sudden, well its because something dark has risen." "What? What do you mean?" Terra asked astonished.

The dark creature then slowly walks away and says: "All you have to know is this: a new shadow has risen and all the darkness you have known will return." As the creature vanishes into te night, Terra just stands there with his keyblade in hand still stunned by the creature's words. Then Aqua's voice breaks his train of thought as she shouts out from inside the house "Terra, dinner is ready!"
